This beautiful vacation home with garden is located away from the village of Nerkewitz, approx. 10 km north of the university town of Jena. The quiet location and the large sun terrace with distant views are ideal for relaxing. The special highlight is the barrel sauna in the garden with a cozy wood fire. The vacation home has a living room with fireplace, a small separate dining room, a kitchen, a bathroom with shower and under the roof a large bedroom with a double bed and another small sleeping alcove with a single bed. The upper floor can be heated with an electric stove.

Nature and surroundings

The village of Nerkewitz is located 10 km from Jena in a beautiful forest and meadow landscape. Several hiking trails start directly at the property.

    All in all, an old cottage that is inadequate with these poor facilities. In particular, the absence of water from tap and shower yes unacceptable

    Nature, peace & environment: 4 /5

    A. Rated for: - beautiful surroundings - quiet around the cottage - beautiful view - rental Dirk is sympathetic and helpful. Cons: - water pressure was almost completely gone most of the time. Unclear if it is due to the drought, but That is an unacceptable problem to this cottage - the mention that there are two bedrooms is misleading. There is one room with double bed which is okay. The room directly above the stairs, where there is a single bed is not a nice bedroom - the cottage is very dated in decor, which has its charm, but the low window frames and low ceiling in the upstairs bedroom, are annoying because you often bump your head painfully.

    The cottage is a kind of time capsule Recognition by stuff from the past Everything is there in terms of furnishings but dated. The area lends itself to cycling, provided you first drive to the route with eg the car. The route is the Radfernweg Thüringer Städtekette highly recommended for stages of cycling Weimar, Erhfurt and Jena beautiful to cycle and visit.

    We felt very comfortable in Dirk and Elisabeth's cottage. However, the accommodation is clearly designed more for the summer. It was mainly only pleasantly warm in the fireplace room. But if you don't mind the cold, you'll still enjoy it there, especially the lovely sauna! The house is very rustic and rustically furnished. But it has everything you need. There was plenty of wood and warm blankets and if you needed anything, you could always get in touch. We were very well looked after. The surroundings are pleasantly peaceful and quiet, and the sun would even shine into the dining room in the morning. Unfortunately it was just too cold to eat there :D
